AimThe purpose of the course is that the students should understand the possibilities and limitations of modern optimising compilers, and thereby understand what they must optimise manually and what the compiler can do automatically.

Knowledge and understandingFor a passing grade the student must

understand which algorithms and data structures are used when modern optimising compilers are implemented, and
